Science gets a bad rep for being boring, difficult and for very smart people (see: nerds). But that doesn't have to be the case. At ScienceABC we believe that if science is communicated simply and made relatable and fun, it can be for everyone. As Micheal Jackson said best, "as simple as ABC."
At 'The Short Answer,' we aim to address intriguing questions with the help of scientific explanations that may not have crossed your mind. We employ our distinctive ScienceABC approach to provide answers to these questions. So, join us for some simple science with a whole lot of fun thrown in!

How Can Diarrhea Travel So Quickly Through the Body When Digestion Normally Is Much Slower?
Welcome to another enlightening episode of "The Short Answer," brought to you by ScienceABC! In this episode, we tackle a rather speedy and essential bodily function: diarrhea. Have you ever wondered why diarrhea can race through your digestive system so much faster than normal digestion?
Join us as we break down the digestive process and highlight key differences between regular digestion and the rapid journey of food during diarrhea. We'll explore why your body struggles to absorb nutrients and water during these bouts, leading to those all-too-frequent trips to the bathroom.
We'll discuss various causes and types of diarrhea, including conditions like lactose intolerance and how different triggers can upset the digestive system. Discover the role of the gut's nervous system and the enigmatic enteric nervous system (ENS) in this process, and learn why some instances of diarrhea may indicate more serious health issues.
With this episode, gain a better understanding of what happens inside your body when faced with this common yet disruptive condition. And as always, it's essential to consult your doctor for persistent symptoms. Tune in to equip yourself with knowledge that is not only fascinating but also potentially lifesaving.
